"Hey, Li Nanfang, you really came to work in the car pool. Impressive," Li Nanfang walked out of the duty room and saw Wang Defa patrolling with two people. Wang Defa looked at him enviously, "It's so late, are you leaving now?"
"Guarding the post, taking the company as home, that's the glorious duty we should follow," Li Nanfang shouted a slogan, then asked, "On duty tonight?"
After getting an affirmative answer, Li Nanfang said with some regret, "Ah, what a pity. I wanted to invite you for a drink."
"I can go off duty——"
"That's not right. What do we employees value most? It's that we must be worthy of the salary Boss Yue pays us. Another day, another day," Li Nanfang smiled and patted Wang Defa's shoulder, looked up at the busy highway, and walked quickly.
He was puzzled. Boss Yue had told him yesterday that he could go to her house tonight. Why didn't she call him when she left work? Women always say one thing and do another. It's a problem that needs to be fixed.
Standing by the roadside, Li Nanfang took out his phone and called Boss Yue. The phone rang for a long time before Boss Yue answered, her tone cold and devoid of any familial affection: "What do you want?"
"Didn't you say I could come to your house tonight?"
"Then come. Villa number 37 in the Garden Villa District."
"I haven't had dinner yet——"
"Do you think I'm going to serve you?" Boss Yue coldly interrupted Li Nanfang's words and hung up directly.
"Damn it, I don't need you to serve me either. Who can guarantee that you won't put rat poison in my food?" Li Nanfang pressed his growling stomach, hailed a taxi, and got in.
"Garden Villa District," Li Nanfang told the driver his destination first, then said, "Buddy, I'm a bit hungry. Can you stop at a place where we can eat something on the way? I'll feed myself first and then go."
There were almost no hotels on the street in front of Kaifeng Group, let alone the barbecue stalls that Li Nanfang loved.
"Go forward a few kilometers and turn left. There's a four-star hotel nearby. The food is quite good," the driver turned his head and looked at him, seemingly casually asking, "Want to go there to eat?"
"Brother, do you think I can afford to eat at a four-star hotel with the clothes I'm wearing?" Li Nanfang tugged at his blue shirt and thought to himself: This guy must be trying to get a kickback by sending passengers to that hotel. Sure enough, after taking another look at Li Nanfang, the driver lowered his eyes, but he still had some conscience: "There are barbecue stalls in front of the hotel's parking lot."
"Alright, let's go eat barbecue - brother, have you had dinner yet?" Li Nanfang invited the driver politely when he got out of the car. Seeing that the driver didn't seem interested, he didn't push it and smiled as he walked towards a small table. Li Nanfang knew that if the taxi didn't stop, the passenger would have to pay by the minute, although it would be discounted. He didn't want to let the "unscrupulous" driver take advantage of him. He ordered dozens of skewers and four bottles of beer, planning to finish quickly and show the other diners what a real foodie looks like.
When the skewers came, Li Nanfang had already drunk two bottles of beer. As he believed that beer could be a meal (as long as you don't have to urinate), Li Nanfang quickly finished his meal at a rate of about ten skewers per minute. After paying the bill and getting ready to leave, he saw several young men and women laughing and walking out of the hotel. Among them was a girl in a white dress with black hair flowing over her shoulders. Under the light, she looked like a fairy.
"Hey, Secretary Min," Li Nanfang called out when he recognized the girl. He had borrowed two hundred yuan from her this morning. Now that he had the money, he should repay her. After all, "Good borrowing and good returning, borrowing again will be easy."
Tonight, Min Rou was at the hotel for a dinner hosted by a high school friend, which she couldn't refuse. "Bye, Huihui. Drive carefully on the way," Min Rou waved goodbye to her friends as their cars drove away. She held her small bag in front of her stomach and walked to the bus stop, looking to the left. She was waiting for the bus.
"Hi, Secretary Min," Li Nanfang walked up quickly when he heard someone call her by her job title. Thinking about the incident this morning when she was seen by him, Min Rou's face turned red. She quickly pretended nothing had happened and smiled, "Li Nanfang, what are you doing here?"
"Had some barbecue. How about you? Had dinner with good friends tonight?" Min Rou nodded, "Yes, a high school classmate treated us."
Min Rou nodded, brushed her hair back over her shoulder, and asked, "I heard you got into a fight in the car pool this morning?"
"Those guys deserved it. They were bullying me because I was new," Li Nanfang, of course, didn't mention that the fight was because he had won all their money. He felt that Min Rou should be disgusted with gambling.
"Can't you talk things out? You just got out of prison. It's best not to cause trouble," Min Rou advised him in a tone like an older sister scolding a naughty younger brother. Li Nanfang enjoyed this feeling - a child without an older sister is really suffering.
Seeing Li Nanfang always smiling, Min Rou didn't want to say anything harsh: "Alright, it's getting late. You should go back and rest."
Li Nanfang nodded, reached out, and said, "Here."
"What is it?" Min Rou looked and saw it was two hundred yuan. She laughed, "You're paying me back? Where did you get the money?"
"Borrowed from a colleague," Li Nanfang said with a smile. "Why borrow money to pay back money? I'm not in a hurry to spend it. You can keep it for now."
"Well, it seems you have good people skills if someone is willing to lend you money on your first day of work," Min Rou said with a smile. After a few more polite exchanges, Li Nanfang firmly took Min Rou's left hand and pressed the two hundred yuan into her palm: "Take it. If I ever get into trouble again, I'll borrow from you."
"Next time, I'll really charge interest," Min Rou said, but seeing Li Nanfang's determined attitude, she didn't insist and put the money away, waving goodbye to him.
Although she had helped her aunt deceive me, she is a good girl. Maybe I should pursue her? Li Nanfang looked back at her one more time after getting into the taxi, feeling a bit attracted.
"Brother, you only stopped for less than twenty minutes. I'll charge you for twenty minutes. Don't complain later," the driver reminded him as he started the car. Li Nanfang took out a five-yuan bill and slapped it on the dashboard: "Trying to take advantage of me being poor? The extra one yuan is a tip for you!"
The driver was probably getting his first one-yuan tip and felt very upset. He stepped on the gas to speed up, but Li Nanfang suddenly shouted, "Stop the car!" This startled the driver: "This place is not allowed to stop."
"Damn it, then drive away. Don't expect to get the fare," Li Nanfang didn't care that the car was still moving. He pushed the door open and jumped out, scaring the driver into braking hard and shouting, "Are you crazy?"
Li Nanfang ignored him. After landing, he stumbled forward and ran towards the bus stop. Just as he gave the driver an extra one-yuan tip and looked back casually, he saw a man approaching Min Rou, who was waiting for the bus, and started to grope her.
"Hey, don't pretend to be a virtuous woman. I saw clearly when that guy gave you money just now," the fat middle-aged man stuffed a stack of bills into Min Rou's arms and reached for her neck, his breath reeking of alcohol: "Come with me, one night for three thousand, thirty percent higher than the market price. You should be satisfied."
"Get off me!" Min Rou struggled desperately but couldn't break free. The man, driven by lust, dragged her towards a nearby black Land Rover. She finally screamed for help when she saw an old woman sitting in the back seat. But the old woman just glared at her with a hateful look and did nothing.
"Damn it, pretending to be a virtuous woman at this moment?" Seeing Min Rou crying and clinging to the car door, refusing to get in, the man's temper finally flared up. He raised his right hand to slap her.
The man's right hand was grabbed mid-air, preventing him from striking. "Who the hell do you think you are, interfering in my business?" the man shouted, turning around without seeing clearly who dared to stop him. Before he could finish his sentence, his body flew up like a straw man caught in a strong wind and crashed into the front windshield of the Land Rover. With a loud crash, the man's nearly two-hundred-pound body shattered the glass.
The onlookers were stunned: "Damn it, who is this guy? So fierce!"
"Li Nanfang—uh, uh uh!" Min Rou, who had been in despair, suddenly saw Li Nanfang appear like a gust of wind and throw the man onto the car. Overwhelmed with joy, she burst into tears, hugged his arm tightly, and cried out his name.
"Wait here for a moment. Let me deal with this jerk," Li Nanfang patted Min Rou's back, pulled her behind him, and then turned to the man with a sinister smile on his face. Although he had only known Min Rou for a few days and she had helped Yue Zitong deceive him, he could tell she was a kind-hearted girl. Now, seeing her being bullied by such a fat, pig-like man in the street, he really thought there was no law and order. Even if there wasn't, Li Nanfang would be the law. Damn it!
"Damn it, you dare to hit me?" The man, despite being tough-skinned, managed to get up after being thrown by Li Nanfang. He pointed at him and shouted, "You little brat, you're done for—ah!" Before he could finish his sentence, his right index finger was grabbed by Li Nanfang, who twisted it upwards fiercely. With a scream of pain, the man's thick finger was bent back against his palm.
Ignoring the man's almost fainting from the pain, Li Nanfang pulled his wrist down and grabbed his hair, smashing his head against the car hood. Bang, bang! He used the man's head like a hammer, creating a dent in the car hood with each impact, along with blood.
The onlookers were completely stunned, and even Min Rou was terrified, her mouth wide open as she trembled all over. Brutal. Besides these two words, no one could think of any other vocabulary to describe Li Nanfang's "evil act." Didn't the fat man lose his ability to scream after being hit for the third time?
The fat woman in the back seat of the Land Rover was the first to react. She jumped out of the car and screamed, "You little beast, how dare you hit my husband?" Without realizing it, Li Nanfang's eyes began to turn red. He laughed maniacally, grabbed the small bag she threw at him, and swung it around with all his might, smashing it into the fat woman's face, which was covered in expensive cosmetics.
The slap was so loud that the fat woman fell backward onto the car door and slid to the ground. "Stop it!" Another loud shout came from behind, this time from a woman. The voice was very clear and pleasant to the ear. Li Nanfang, who was in the middle of his rampage, didn't care who was shouting. He felt someone trying to grab him from behind and swung his right elbow backward with all his strength.
Thud! The elbow hit the woman right in the chest, which was soft and seemed to have excellent elasticity and compression resistance. Bai Ling'er, who had never dreamed that, as the deputy captain of the Qingshan City Public Security Bureau's criminal police team, she would be hit by a thug while stopping a fight on the street, felt her vision go dark and had trouble breathing.
"Don't move, this is the police!" Seeing Li Nanfang even hit a police officer, Min Rou was terrified and quickly hugged him, trying to remind him to open his eyes and see who he was hitting.
"What, a police officer?" After being hugged by Min Rou, the girl's charming body scent was like a cool spring in the scorching summer, instantly sobering Li Nanfang up. The blood in his eyes quickly faded, and he felt an overwhelming sense of fatigue. Leaning on Min Rou, he looked back and saw that the woman he had hit in the chest was indeed a police officer, and she was a very young one, currently squatting on the ground, holding her chest in pain. Her pretty face was twisted, and sweat was dripping from her smooth forehead.
"Damn it, kid, you dare to assault a police officer!" Two male police officers rushed over from a nearby car, one of them even drawing his weapon and pointing it at Li Nanfang, shouting, "Hands on your head, lean against the car and don't move!"
Damn it, I really did hit a police officer. What kind of mess is this? This female officer is really unprofessional. When stopping me from getting violent, she didn't even shout "Stop, I'm a police officer." This is not abroad. If the police officer dared to point a gun at Li Nanfang, he would let the officer see what a rioter is capable of. But this is in prosperous China. Unless absolutely necessary, even with eight balls, Li Nanfang wouldn't dare to fight against the brave people's police. So he could only obediently put his hands on his head and lean against the car. It was just in time to rest and let the demon lurking in his heart go away.
"Officer, please let me explain first——" Min Rou still tried to explain to the police that it was a misunderstanding. The police didn't listen to her at all, took out handcuffs, and clicked them onto Li Nanfang's wrists. Then one of them kicked him in the buttocks.
"Ouch, easy, easy, it hurts, it hurts!" Li Nanfang shouted. Hurts?
Damn it, if it doesn't hurt, I won't lift it! Bai Ling'er gritted her teeth and sneered, "Alright, kid, assaulting a police officer first, then threatening the police to enforce the law in a barbaric way. You really have no shame——I'll be barbaric in my law enforcement, and you can sue me! Go ahead and sue me!"
Ha! Bai Ling'er was furious and grabbed the baton from her colleague's hand, and started to hit Li Nanfang on the head. Damn it, Bai Ling'er fell for the kid's trick. The two male police officers started to mourn for Li Nanfang: Kid, you're done for.
When the two police officers tried to stop her, it only made Bai Ling'er's wild nature even more fierce. She kicked them aside and was determined to beat Li Nanfang to death, even if it meant being expelled from the police force and going to jail. She would rather do that than let Li Nanfang go.
"Hey, what are you doing? Is this how you enforce the law?" Min Rou was desperate to see Li Nanfang being beaten by the police. She threw herself onto Li Nanfang's back, glaring at Bai Ling'er, "If you have the guts, hit me too!"
Bai Ling'er dared not beat Min Rou on the street, so she could only throw away the baton in anger, grab Li Nanfang's shoulder, and drag him towards the police car. She planned to take him back to the bureau and deal with him there. That place was her territory. Once the interrogation room's iron door was closed, no one else could get in. She could do whatever she wanted with Li Nanfang.
As for the bloodied Hao Boss and the unconscious Hao Boss's wife, Bai Ling'er didn't care. She had two subordinates, so she wouldn't worry about them. Min Rou wanted to go to the bureau with them, but Bai Ling'er ignored her. After pushing Li Nanfang into the back seat of the car, she jumped in and drove away quickly.
Min Rou asked the two police officers what happened, but they were calling an ambulance and didn't have time to talk to her. Seeing Hao Boss's bloodied face and not knowing whether he was alive or dead, Min Rou felt her legs go weak. She wanted to squat down and cry her heart out. She felt so helpless: Li Nanfang had done all this to save her. Now he was being taken away by the furious Bai Officer. She knew he would be beaten badly. But she couldn't do anything to help.
Fortunately, Min Rou was an organized person. She couldn't do anything, but didn't she have Boss Yue? He was Li Nanfang's fiancé and had dealt with the police many times. Even if he couldn't save Li Nanfang, he could at least say something, right?
Boss Yue was currently very reluctant to speak. She was lazily sitting on the sofa, watching TV with a cigarette in her right hand and a highball glass in her left. Her beautiful feet were resting on the coffee table, and her robe had slipped down, revealing half of her white legs. The entire villa was filled with a sense of languid boredom. Boss Yue didn't know what was on TV. Her mind kept replaying what she had seen this morning.
Li Nanfang was right. When he walked into the secretary's office without knocking and saw Min Rou screaming in shock, half-naked and trying to cover herself, while Li Nanfang stood there staring, Boss Yue had heard the scream and immediately rushed to the door and opened it. Then she saw Min Rou in the opposite office, covering herself with both hands, and Li Nanfang standing there, staring at her.
